How does a cold develop?
We all know the annoying symptoms of a cold: the nose runs or is blocked, and breathing is more difficult than usual. From a medical point of view, a cold is an inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane: the irritated mucous membrane secretes more tenacious mucus and swells. This blocks or runs the nose. The medical term for a cold is rhinitis. A cold is usually triggered by so-called rhinoviruses or common cold viruses. Since there are more than 200 different pathogens that cause colds or runny noses, acute - i.e., temporary - colds occur so frequently. Colds occur year-round. The terms "cold" or "common cold" suggest that the occurrence of a runny nose is related to weather conditions. However, the basis of a cold is an infection, so cold viruses are circulating throughout the year. The transmission of viruses often takes place in heated rooms with dry air in the cold season and, for example, in crowds or on planes during vacation trips in summer. An increase in infections due to the gathering of many children is also observed every year at the start of school in autumn.

What is sinusitis and how does it develop?
Sinusitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane in one or more paranasal sinuses. The cause is usually a viral infection. At the same time, the mucous membrane in the nose itself is often inflamed, which corresponds to a runny nose (Latin rhinitis). Therefore, the term rhinosinusitis is also common for sinusitis. Sinusitis can occur in one or both sides of the face and affect one or more sinuses. The most common form is acute sinusitis as a result of a cold. Cold viruses are usually transmitted by smear infections or droplet infections.

What are the symptoms of sinusitis?
The signs of sinusitis typically include a blocked nose and headaches: the cold has spread into the paranasal sinuses, which are located in the jaw and forehead area. Typical sinusitis symptoms: impaired nasal breathing, loss of smell or taste, increased secretion production: initially watery, later tenacious or purulent, headaches and facial pain (around the forehead or eyes), severe pressure when bending over or leaning the head forward deeply, fever and cold symptoms such as sneezing, coughing, hoarseness, sore throat, toothache, earache. All these symptoms are defense reactions of the body. The mucous membranes in the nose are more supplied with blood, swell, and form more tenacious secretions to get rid of the pathogens. However, due to the swelling, the secretion cannot drain. This makes breathing more difficult and the paranasal sinuses are not ventilated.

What are the symptoms of a cold in children?
Since a cold is just as uncomfortable for babies as it is for us adults, you can usually quickly recognize the typical cold symptoms: runny nose, increasingly blocked nose, frequent sneezing or urge to sneeze, tingling, scratchy feeling or burning in the nasopharynx, general malaise of the child.

Sinusitis in children
Older children may also suffer from inflamed paranasal sinuses (sinusitis). Signs include: headaches in the forehead area or around the eyes, pressure pain behind the cheekbones, diffuse headache extending to the back of the head, worsening of headache when bending over, jumping, or immediately after getting up, longer course of illness with poorer general condition and elevated body temperature.
